Engineering Design Process Concepts

What is the main purpose of the Engineering Design Process?

• To build robots.

• To identify problems and find solutions.

• To learn about engineers.

• To draw pictures.

Who can use the Engineering Design Process?

• Only engineers.

• Only scientists.

• Anyone who wants to solve a problem.

• Only adults.

How many phases are there in the Engineering Design Process?

• 5

• 6

• 7

• 8

What is the first step in the Engineering Design Process?

• Imagine

• Plan

• Ask

• Create

What does 'decomposition' mean in the context of problem-solving?

• Breaking down a problem into smaller, easier parts.

• Putting many ideas together.

• Making a problem more complicated.

• Finding only one solution.

During the 'Ask' phase, what kind of questions should you consider?

• What is the problem?

• Are there any limits or rules?

• Can I explain the problem to someone else?

• All of the above.

What should you do during the 'Imagine' phase if you are stuck for ideas?

• Give up.

• Ask a friend to solve it for you.

• Research ideas that others have tried for similar problems.

• Only use your first idea.

In the 'Plan' phase, what is important to do after selecting an idea?

• Start building right away.

• Draw a sketch and list materials.

• Ask someone else to plan for you.

• Forget about the details.

What is the purpose of the 'Test' phase?

• To show off your design.

• To see if your design works and gather feedback.

• To make sure no one else can copy your idea.

• To only test it once.

What is a key characteristic of the Engineering Design Process, as shown at the end of the video?

• It must always follow a strict order.

• It is a very rigid structure.

• It allows for flexibility and going back to previous steps.

• It is only for very simple problems.
